USB: fix interface sysfs file-creation bug
This patch (as1005) fixes a rather subtle problem. When usb_set_configuration() registers the interfaces and their files in sysfs, it doesn't expect those files to exist already. But when an interface is registered, its driver may call usb_set_interface() and thereby cause the sysfs files to be created. The result is an error when usb_set_configuration() goes on to create those same files again. The (not-so-great) solution is to have usb_set_configuration() remove any existing files before creating them.
